Goodwill - Chaska Wholesale is a thrift store that offers a unique shopping experience focused on bulk sales by the pound or by the size of items. Customers can find many small sizes for children, clothing, shoes, books, and household items at very low prices—often getting multiple items for just a few dollars. The store is open seven days a week and provides deals that appeal to thrifters willing to put in some effort. Shopping here requires patience and willingness to sift through carts of items, as the store’s layout involves piles of goods that customers dig through to find what they want. Shoes are not kept together, so shoppers need to search for matches, and items meant to be sold in pairs may be separated. The environment can be competitive and intense, with some customers eager to be the first to browse the fresh bins, and others acting oddly—like trying to put items in a shopper’s car or pushing through crowds. The staff has varied reviews; some customers find them friendly and helpful, especially during checkout, while others have experienced poor customer service. It’s also noted that staff sometimes pick through the bins before they are officially released, which can be frustrating. Security measures such as covering carts with blankets are recommended to prevent theft, as some items may be swiped when shoppers are not looking. Overall, Goodwill - Chaska Wholesale is suited for dedicated thrifters who enjoy rummaging through piles and don’t mind a less organized, lively shopping environment. It offers great prices and a chance to find unique items, but requires patience and a thick skin.
Used to be great place to score treasures. Prices keep rising and staff plucks out any thing of value. Bins are mainly very worn clothes now. Quality about the same as salvation army outlet . SA more affordable.

Bruce was so helpful as we checked out. It can be confusing, but he was so kind and patient with what we needed to do. Thanks Bruce!

Doesn’t seem like they’re very friendly too dark skin people seem a little racist. I went there one day and the cashier was very nice and rang up my stuff very reasonable price. I went there another time and the guy that rang me up charged me more and I got less than I went the first time.
